Spare Ribs on the Oval
Cooking and pictures by Tim M

 3-1-1 Method

#1 I am starting off with two racks of spare ribs. I have cut them in half to make it easier to work with. I have removed the membrane and coated with Nature Boy's Dizzy Pig Rib Rub. Sometimes I coat with yellow mustard (after the rub) but not this time.

 

#2 Here is my Oval with the two racks in a rib rack with the fire on the other side so it is an indirect setup. 275-300 deg to start out. It's really windy here today so I don't know how well the Oval will hold a temp. Cooking 3 hrs flipping every hour.

 

#3 The Oval is holding the 275-300° dome temp very well. Here they are after a flip and rotate after 1.5 hrs.

 

#4 At the 3 hr mark I took two sections and wrapped them in foil for 1 hour at 275-300°. There were 2 packages of foil wrapped ribs with 2 sections in each. Here they are after I removed them from the foil. Now add sauce and cook 1 more hour, flip ever 30 min.

 

#5 The finished product - spare ribs done the 3-1-1 method. These came out very nicely. The spares do have more meat but you cut a lot off when you trim them - this is a St. Louis cut. See the pictures on how to trim spare ribs for the St Louis cut - here.
